To just want a bit of help/ support from dh? (Sorry boring)

[Spookey80]

Just need a bit of perspective really, maybe I am bu?
Im 6months pg with dc3, other 2 dcs 3and 4yo. I work pt.
I'm tired, irritable, low iron (not had time to get iron supps yet). Dh is ok, but just keeps telling me I'm stressed out and irrational when I keep shouting at the dcs or crying. Should I just get on with things, or am I bu expecting a little support, or even just a cuddle now and then?

YANBU in the slightest. Tell DH to take the kids out tomorrow, via a chemist for your iron tablets. My DH was rubbish at the emotional support bit was good with practical things.

How much are you shouting at the kids? How much are you crying? It sounds like you are stressed out. Hard to judge from what you've said what his part is in the whole thing... Does he help out so you get decent and regular breaks from the children/domestic drudgery? Does he offer no physical affection?

He's not that bad and maybe I am stressed out? Have been rushing around trying to get everything ready for crimbo. Just want a bit of sympathy/ understanding instead of shouting at me telling me I'm a stress head.
He's out now doing the food shop, so he is helping, but I literally find I sit down and can't get back up, I'm so lacking in energy.
Just keep crying, sat here crying now? Don't want to feel like this anymore.

Have you told him what you want? It is all very well him being able to identify the problem, but unless he knows how to rectify it then it's not much help. You should be prioritising your health though and finding time to get iron tablets - nothing good can come of neglecting your own needs and those of your baby. And as for snapping at the kids - it's not ideal, but they won't fall apart if they see that you are human and stressed. Perhaps your husband can organise something special and fun to do together as a treat while you have a chance to put your feet up and eat some beef wrapped in spinach...

Just put this on another post. Get your vitamins, you'll feel tonnes better.
